It need not any configuration at all

Hi.

It need not any configuration at all. .
You don't have to set language in mmp file or anything.

Just copy your font into system directory ( for example system\apps\font\ ) then load it from your program using my code.

To display it on the screen you need an unicode edwin ( in my case i used
richtext editor ). Then all you have to do is for example

aRichtex->InsertL(Unicodechar,position);

If you do not have a rich text control, give me your email.

Load Custom Font In Symbian

I also had trouble with using custom font and my program only work well with Open Type font.

But you can try this way:

1- Copy custom font to system folder( for example : arial.ttf)

2-Using this function :

void CRTxContainer::SetFontL(TInt aResourceID)
{
    // Create font
TInt FontSize=150;
   _LIT(FontName,"arial");


   TFontSpec* fontSpec=new TFontSpec(FontName,FontSize);

CleanupStack::PushL(fontSpec);

   TCharFormat charFormat;
TCharFormatMask charFormatMask;
CFont* editorFont = iCoeEnv->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
CleanupStack::PushL(editorFont);

charFormat.iFontSpec = editorFont->FontSpecInTwips();
charFormatMask.SetAttrib(EAttFontTypeface);
   charFormatMask.SetAttrib(EAttFontHeight);

// Set font to GlobalTextEditor
   iRtEd->SelectAllL();
iRtEd->ApplyCharFormatL(charFormat,charFormatMask);
   iRtEd->SetCursorPosL(0,0);
   iRtEd->SetBackgroundColorL(KRgbSymbianOrange);
   iCoeEnv->ReleaseScreenFont(editorFont);
   CleanupStack::Pop(); // editorFont

// Change label text.

CleanupStack::Pop(); // fontSpec
delete fontSpec; // Delete Font
}

- In the function above i set font for a richtext control and it work well.

I've never tried it myself, but at

http://www.mypsion.ru/library.php?aid=253
(in russian)

written that fonts should be copied to C:\System\Fonts\
for emulator it should be epoc32\wins\c\system\Fonts\

If you want a new bitmap font, there is a font design utility, for example here
http://www.geocities.com/zavorine/epoc/fontutils.htm
(or google for "Symbian font utility bdf")

ok. i got that tool. it works after switching back to an older version of ftntrans.
but now the question is how to use the resulting gdr file. I copied it to
epoc32\release\winsb\urel\z}system\fonts but my app does not
get the font.

This is a complex process, and require UID from symbian to register font in theOS. However then I asked Symbian for UID for font they havn't answered my mail. So I've just loaded bitmaps for my font and blit them into screen from TLex

the next question would be, what folder to use on the real device.
using bitmap fonts is no real choice for. should be international ...

any hint?
